Jon Stewart interviews old friend and rival Bill O’Reilly, as well as discussing the impending government shutdown on Monday’s all new Daily Show episode.

The government is set to shut down around the time this gets finished, and Stewart, like many, are voicing that the shutdown was very avoidable. The House of Representatives is refusing to pass a budget until Obamacare is defunded, even though the Senate has made a deal. The first segment of tonight’s show, a segment called “Jon Stewart’s Rockin Shutdown Eve,” targeted the predictable suspects – Republicans. Stewart showed a supercut of Republicans standing up against the bill, most of which were just statements of vague buzzwords that didn’t mean anything. Quick snippets of video from the last couple of weeks showed Republican senators and representatives claiming the bill was unconstitutional and unlawful.

Stewart was able to very easily shoot down this thought by simply explaining how far the Affordable Care Act has come. And to do so, he brought up an old favorite – the “How a Bill Becomes a Law” video, for children. It might be for kids, but it outlines how a bill goes through the two houses and gets signed by a President. Then the Supreme Court – “nine precogs in magical robes,” said Stewart – determines it is constitutional. This all happened four years ago, making the bill completely legal.

Republicans are asking for modifications to the bill, to which the Democrats are not budging (logically, as it is a bill that has already passed). Stewart compared this to the New York Giants, whom lost Sunday 31-7, as if they would demand 25 points by Monday night or they’re shutting down the NFL. “Why couldn’t you be more like … NFL players?” Stewart said.

“The Daily Show” funnyman Jon Stewart and Fox News host Bill O’Reilly faced off tonight in a spirited debate at the Lisner Auditorium on the campus of George Washington University in Washington D.C..

In “O’Reilly vs. Stewart 2012: The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium,” O’Reilly and Stewart took an entertaining and comedic approach to today’s pressing political issues in an attempt to find the best direction for America.

The unconventional debate, which Stewart’s opening line was: ”My friend Bill O’Reilly is completely full of shit”, was moderated by former Fox News and CNN anchor ED Hill, Stewart and O’Reilly clashed over the role of government, President Obama’s foreign policy, Social Security and Medicare, and the media industry, among other things.

To watch the event, there was a $4.95 charge for the livestream on your computer. Many viewers were frustrated, because of the high demand the stream was not initially working.

Maya Rudolph returned to Saturday Night Live (SNL) , her old stomping grounds, last night, February 18, 2012 to host the star-studded show.

Bill O’Reilly and Kate Uptondropped by for a special President’s Day edition of “What Up With That?” Bill O’Reilly, also known as ‘The Sexiest Man in NY’ spoke briefly while Upton was there to show off her beautiful face (and cleavage) not saying too much, outside of ‘I love Presidents’.

We have the video and to see all of the skits from last night’s SNL click here!!

Jon Stewart took Bill O’Reilly up on his invitation from last week, and sat down with him on The O’Reilly Factor so that the two could debate their disagreement over whether or not the First Lady had any business inviting rap musician Common to the White House.

Bill O’Reilly was on The View today, October 14, 2010 when a heated discussion started about the very controversial mosque that is being built in the New York area where the 9/11 catastrophe took place.

O’Reilly expressed his opinion that the mosque is inappropriate and should not be built since a number of the 9/11 families do not want it. When Joy Behar questioned O’Reilly he said,

When Whoopi questioned Bill O’Reilly about President Obama’s approval rating being tied to this issue and the issue of the mosque – O’Reilly responded by saying,

“Muslim’s killed us on 9/11″

To that Whoopie Goldberg yelled, “Bulls**t”. Joy Behar walked off the stage and Whoopie immediately followed.

Barbara Walters handled the situation like the classy lady she is by stating,

“You have just seen what should not happen, we should be able to have discussions without washing our hands, and screaming and walking offstage. I love my colleagues but it should not have happened”

Barbara yelled at O’Reilly for demeaning an entire religion. Behar and Goldberg did return to the stage after a bit when O’Reilly made a blanket apology if he offended anyone.

Leave your thoughts – what do you think about Bill O’Reilly??

Since we last wrote this – Joy Behar has left The View. There was Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd who both were on the show for awhile before they were fired. Then Rosie O’Donnell returned to the show but only for a couple of months before she quit due to the stress of life. She got a divorce and quit The View. She is worried about her health following a heart attack she had years before.

Does Bill O’Reilly ever get tired of hearing himself talk?? Not lately – that’s for sure!!

O’Reilly recently targeted Jennifer Aniston for her comments on single motherhood, calling her views “destructive to society.” Now he’s taking Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber to task over their recent Elle magazine photo shoot.

According to Us Weekly, O’Reilly suggested that it was inappropriate to pair the 29-year-old reality star with the 16-year-old teen singer in “The Graduate”-themed fashion spread.

O’Reilly said, “If a 16-year-old girl was pictured with a 29-year-old man in any of that, he’d be in big trouble.”

Kardashian and Beiber posed for the photos in the Bahamas. Kardashian wrote on her website,

“I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! Justin and I had such a fun time together at the shoot.”

Jennifer Aniston was promoting her sperm donor comedy The Switch, when she told reporters,

“Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don’t have to settle with a man just to have that child,”

That statement sparked a war of words between Aniston and Bill O’Reilly.

O’Reilly called Aniston’s remarks “destructive to our society.” He later added that “men get hosed all day long in the parental arena,” and Aniston had contributed to “diminishing the role of the dad.”

Aniston has responded to O’Reilly’s comments,

“Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth,” Aniston tells People.

“And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts),” continues Aniston, before joking, “But for those who’ve not yet found their Bill O’Reilly, I’m just glad science has provided a few other options.”
